€350,- for a LE book is very expensive but not outrageous, €960 for a book is just madness.

Ridiculous prices. I have no doubt they are good books as Ken said but those prices are ridiculous.
I'll put that money towards a watch thanks. All the information you need is online. Especially on this forum. |

I think you must take into consideration that many are limited editions.
For example, the Steel book is a limited edition of only 599 examples. When you factor the costs of travel, hours of work procuring the best examples and shooting spectacular images + production costs, spread over only 599 books, you can appreciate the price better. I, for one, would say they are top of the mark - but saying "ridiculous" is an insult IMHO.

![]() Furthermore, all books contain the updated estimates of all Rolex watches and every year we send for free the new price list . We also offer free valuations of our customers watches; shipping is safe and insured with Fedex.. So.. lots of work and time :) You are definitively right ![]() |

I own the same two books mentioned by the original poster. They are fantastic books and Georgia truly is a wonderful person to deal with. I will likely purchase more from their library in the future.

I've got several of the Mondani books, probably the most comprehensive titles available too, once seen up close you'll understand why the price is such.....quality doesn't come cheap & a simple watch can be bought for a few coins but we all love Rolex, owning THE book isn't any different
![]() That said, I'd love the Daytona story but I can make better use of €980, any deals for TRF members Georgia ??

These books do indeed look awesome, and I would love to get my hands on the sub book, but almost 800USD!!! I won't say it is ridiculous, but it is more than I want to/can/would spend on a book . . .
On another note, the pic of your sub with the sub book makes me incredibly jealous. |

I too recently received my signed copy of The Submariner Story (last week).........500 piece LTD edition.
Absolutely brilliant! No regrets. As I said in another post, if I divide the hours of entertainment by the cost over the next 12 months it's a bargain. Until you see it you don't realise how good it is. Bob. PS: Giorgia....... How many of the 500 do you have left? |

They will then be selling on Ebay for $1500.00. I've seen this type of thing with car books. One in particular had a ticketed price of $49.95. I thought it was a bit rich and didn't buy it. 3 months later it was selling consistently for $1000+ Here is one that admittedly didn't sell but it did have a start price of $890 (Aussie dollars). http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Holden-GT...b#ht_23wt_1200 Just remember boys, if you snooze you loose!
